So I got pulled over for speeding.  I'm guilty as gently caress but the human-porcine hybrid ruining my evening mixed up the speed I was going and the posted speed limit. The citation basically goes like this:Alleged Speed: 45 Posted speed limit: 60 Those numbers should be reversed... This got me thinking about maybe actually going to the court appearance rather than settling it up over the phone because I might be able to get out of it. Anyone ever challenge a ticket successfully?

Nope, about a year ago I got busted for going 88mph in a 70, it was early morning, clear weather and barely any other traffic about but the copper reckoned I was going nearly 100. I told him if I was doing nearly 100 my car would have been shaking like mad and i'd have known. He said he was doing me a favour by just clocking me at 88 otherwise i'd have been done for reckless driving too and would have lost my licence (new driver, less than 2 years.) Took the 3 points and £100 fine. I don't know how it works in the US but in the UK I doubt a ticket would get overturned for an administrative error. In fact if you went to court here you'd probably have to pay more.

As a matter of principle I always plead "not guilty" At the very least I have had the ticket reduced, but more often than not they'll just drop it or offer a charitable donation in lieu of a guilty plea. I've seen people try to use the technicality route (make in the model field, wrong color, etc) and it gets hand waved right out of the get so I would play it straight. Either way traffic court is usually pretty lax so if you can afford to I'd go! It usually winds up being interesting/funny hearing the other people's little traffic tales.

The trick is when you first go to court, walk up to the biggest scariest looking person you see and punch 'em in the face. You will get your rear end kicked, but you'll earn the court's respect and nobody will gently caress with you. Trust me.

And who the gently caress sets a 45 MPH speed limit on a divided road flanked by a nature reserve on one side and empty government land on the other side anyway? As an American citizen it is my duty to rebel against unjust laws. Or whatever the cool rebel types say these days... praxis or some poo poo?

In my experience if you show up, you're well dressed, and you say things like "yes your honor" and "no your honor" and "I apologize your honor" and also you're white you can get away with most things. hosed up but true

I'm just hoping that even if he does I can point out the lack of accurate recorded evidence and bounce off scot free. nah chances are if he shows up they'll give him the leeway on an obvious clerical error you have much better odds following this advice: great big cardboard tube posted:In my experience if you show up, you're well dressed, and you say things like "yes your honor" and "no your honor" and "I apologize your honor" and also you're white you can get away with most things. Show up and if the cop doesn't show you win, if he does go with the "Look I didn't know the (unposted speed limit)" and whatnot while playing to your upstanding whiteness. I've never met a judge who likes precocious little shits who try to get off on technicalities and wasting their time. The more you try to play up "Well look I obviously got caught but you didn't write the paperwork correctly" the more the judge'll look for an excuse to gently caress you. -And since this isn't a situation where you have a lawyer they'll probably get away with it.

I deal with traffic tickets all the time and more than likely you will have to pay the fine plus court costs unless the officer doesn't show up for whatever reason. Pretty rare for me to see a speeding ticket dismissed. Not to say I haven't had people try and contest tickets for dumb reasons like the officer gave the wrong information on the ticket, but good luck getting a judge to side with you on technicalities on a ticket.

First ticket I got was out of town. Three months later is my court date, so I drive 3 hours to attend. Judge doesn't call my name, so after he's done he asks if there's any other court business so I went up. He found my docket I guess, and I pled guilty. He kind of looked at me funny, then pointed where I could go to pay. Turns out you don't have to show up if you want to just pay the fine

Generally I would say that you have better odds to beat a careless driving ticket where the officer did not witness the accident. If that is the case then they need to have a witness. If they don't, the case is probably going to get dismissed. If they do have a witness, that witness has to show up to court and give a statement or it's probably going to get dismissed.

if you're going to bother to show up to court, why not try to fight it? worst case, you still have to pay the speeding ticket. best case, you get no points on your license and your insurance doesn't go up

You’re supposed to scream I do not wish to create joinder with you and then curl up into a ball so when the cop smashes out your window with his night stick you don’t get shards in your eyes.

Most people know the billy club is another name for a nightstick but they don’t know that the reason they’re called billy clubs is because Billy Shropshire of Ipswich was the first person to be sodomized with one.

I got a ticket last month, 55 in a 35, the cop also saw that my address on my license was out of date. I went to court and told him I had been driving slower, and had gone to the DMV to update my address and gotten a new ID. He threw out both tickets because I had obediently told him what to do. I said thank you and left and then grabbed the one-hitter and some pot I had stashed in a tree outside the courthouse because I had forgotten it was in my bag until I was halfway through the security line and said “oh poo poo I forgot my insurance in the car!” and performatively slapped my head with my hand and stepped outside to hide it.

I have gotten out of multiple tickets because I showed up to court clean shaven with my shirt tucked in. That's literally more than 90% of people will do.

i challenged a speeding ticket and won, OP and I think you've got an easy case to beat, assuming you have no other history. Most people dont fight tickets, so if you did the judge probably will probably just give you a freebie. Also, if you take it to court and the cop doesn't show, i think this mix-up would 100% go in your favor. Just take the chance you pussy, this is your chance to speed, get caught, and get away with it! Then you too will earn a story about how you beat a speeding ticket and can post it in the next thread when a similar pants pissing little baby starts freaking out about THEIR ticket and you can swoop in and show them how suave you really are
